Run SMART client Scott Mersiowsky signed up for private coaching this past May. He was kind enough to share a testimonial about his experience working with Run SMART coach Rod Koborsi. We’re super excited about his progress!

I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying and benefiting from working with Run SMART Coach Rod Koborsi. After a couple years of injuries, the first from a motorcycle accident and then the next year a stress fracture, I didn’t think that I would ever get back to running well. After 11 weeks in a boot for the stress fracture, I decided that at age 45 I was going to depend on someone else for my training and try to surpass or at least match my times from my younger years. Now I have been running and competing since high school so I was a little skeptical as to how much an online coach could really help.

I signed up and Rod Koborsi became my coach. Wow, I have now been running more consistently then I have in 30+ years of running. I used to last for about 5 months and then an injury would set me back again. Now I am just getting better all of the time. My race times have been dropping steadily since I have been with Rod, and he is always there when I have a question, not to mention that he is always checking on me. I am really excited to see how much time I can keep dropping. On September 17th, 2011, I won a local 5K against 478 other runners! Thanks Rod, I really appreciate the effort that you put into my workouts and I look forward to continuing with you and have you lead me to some great running performances.
